DO NOT JOIN LA FITNESS!!!…read more The reason are as follows: 1. When I initially talked to my salesperson he told me that the club was getting a red light sauna as the current one was not working, I assumed it would be soon but the sauna has not worked in 10 weeks since I have been a member which is absurd/ridiculous for a fitness club...I used to own a fitness club with indoor tennis, large fitness room, (at the time one of the biggest in upstate N.Y.), aerobics, pro shop, nice locker rooms with a sauna...if the sauna ever broke down which happened frequently as members would pour water on the coils and short circuit them I would FedEx the appropriate parts and get it fixed ASAP...plus the salesperson was not working there days after I joined so he probably knew that and said anything to sell a membership and assuming get a commission 2. In my opinion the club is oversold with memberships as no matter what time I come in there to work out it's tough getting on any piece of equipment as there's so many people working out 3. I had a member try to walk out with my jacket which I moved around with me as I worked out as didn't want to use your locker rooms 4. I don't want to use your locker room as the one day I forgot my flip flops and I got a wart on the bottom of my foot from your locker room floor 5. The main reason I joined your club is that you had a sauna versus Planet Fitness which did not 6. I have since joined Planet Fitness, both your club and PF are about the same distance and time from my house on East Ave and PF has probably 3x the equipment and space of your club, better machines with at least 2 of every plate loaded machine which usually means no waiting for a machine to work out on + they have more free weights than yours 7. Numerous times your club was dirty, noticeably the floors on the fitness areas 8. I tripped over your vacuum cord which has a 30-40' extension cord...I'm almost 77 and luckily I caught myself and didn't fall which could have been a lawsuit...I own a 4,000 sq. ft. home with 3 stories, (1875 house), and I have the same vacuum which is cordless for safety and ease of moving around and the last club I belonged to, (Midtown), had the cordless backpack vacuum so members wouldn't trip over a long cord and for ease of movement and safety and was faster as no cord to deal with...if I can have a cordless one as a homeowner I'm sure a big corporation like LA Fitness can afford one 9. I previously emailed the manager or so I thought but it was a generic email to LA Fit on a Friday and she never got back to me, I was told at the front desk that I could email her directly from the web site but it was a common email only...after I complained to her (Abby) at the front desk the next Monday she probably looked for it and got back to me in a day or so after that...I've taught small business administration and entrepreneurship at the college level and waiting 4-5 days to respond to a customer's complaint is not acceptable in a well run company...when I complained to her about the sauna she were cordial but kept giving me the run around about it and when it would be fixed and refused to give me any club credit for lack of services - the sauna - which was the main reason I joined your club 10. So I'm leaving LA Fitness and their lack of getting the sauna fixed in 10 weeks means they will lose my membership for many years to come, I've worked out and been an athlete since the 4th grade and will never stop belonging to a gym so LA lost thousands of dollars on my future membership and after the review I post which will be much of the above, you will lose numerous future members and cost the club 10's of thousands of dollars 11. The spin bikes are from maybe 2005 at the best and they are the worst spin bikes I have ever used in 25+ years...and they have maybe 2-3 spin classes a week, I only ever saw one 12. This "Gym" is like a used car lot from 1970 with sales people having desks to sit you down to hard sell you a membership for a "special deal" if you join that day...lying about anything to sell a membership and have that same slimy feeling of those old time used car sales people 13. And when I walked into the club and talked to Abby (East Ave Club in Brighton) I was told that initially I had paid for the first and last month so I have been billed for an extra month upfront so if you want to cancel they get an extra month out of you...what a scam from old time car dealers and scummy salespeople from clubs in the 1970's + 1980's and 1990's Mark McCarthy

I really like RuckHouse…read more If you're looking for a full body workout (and really, we all should be), head over for a class. It's a circuit training/HIIT style workout, where you roll around the studio and run through a series of different exercises designed to get your whole body moving and sweating and just in better overall shape. There's some work on machines (ski, treadmill, bike, etc.), weights, bodyweight exercises, and more. If you've ever done F45 or something similar, it's not far off, but it's a cool local shop with personable coaches in a clean environment with surprisingly nice facilities and even products in the bathroom for when you're through. Everyone we spoke with from the front desk to the trainers leading the session to the other folks working out seemed cool, and we'll definitely be back when we're in town. Like most workouts (and many other things in life), you get out what you put in. Meaning, if you come in ready to see what your body can do, you'll get a great sweat on. They have a shirt for sale that says, "But did you die?" And I like that. Bring your own towel.

I've never had bad time at Ruckhouse. The trainers are friendly, knowledgeable, fun, and tough!…read moreThey know when and how to push you and still make the experience amazing. The training facility is always clean, organized, and well maintained. There's a lounge area, shake bar, and locker room as well. There's plenty of parking and a variety of classes to find what you're looking for. The best part about this place is not the workout or building but rather the people. Every person that walks through that door I consider family even if I haven't met them yet. This place draws the best members and staff. If you're looking for more than just a gym choose Ruckhouse Athletics!

The members are kind and social, which makes classes feel comfortable and community-oriented. The staff are warm, professional, and very attentive. The studio is also well equipped with excellent Pilates machines and accessories, and they offer a variety of class types and packages to suit different needs and schedules. Jenny is an ABSOLUTELY AMAZING teacher, and a warm funny person! She clearly knows her craft and is an exceptional teacher. Her guidance is precise, encouraging, and easy to follow. Taking her class felt less like a formal workout and more like learning from a knowledgeable friend who genuinely wants you to succeed. I highly recommend this studio and especially her classes, and her as a person 1:1 teacher/instructor.

Extremely Disappointed - Poor Treatment from Instructors…read more I joined Club Pilates excited to continue my fitness journey with an additional workout option, but unfortunately, my experience has been frustrating and disheartening. Several instructors made rude, snide comments during classes, including things like "there's always one who can't catch on" or suggesting I should be in a lower-level class--before class even started. I'm still learning, but I expected to be supported, not shamed. I don't look like the stereotypical Pilates student, but I follow directions and show up ready to improve. I deserve respect--something I never had to question at places like Breathe Yoga or the YMCA. On top of that, my name has been consistently misspelled on my account despite repeated requests to fix it, which creates issues with my wellness reimbursements. I've tried to stick with it, even going out of my way to avoid certain instructors, but enough is enough. I've never felt so uncomfortable or disrespected at a fitness studio. I've asked to cancel my membership and request a refund for the last month. I'll be continuing my practice at places that value and uplift their members--not tear them down.

This is very close to my house, but will try one of the other locations to mix it up.

The atmosphere, community, and…read moretrainers are all amazing, but after the experience I had this week I wanted to share my experience as a warning to others considering attending this gym or getting a membership. I have been attending classes since December, which I purchase through class pass. When I started going, I was told it was permissable to stay and complete my workout after purchasing and attending a class (IE attending a strength class, then after running on the treadmill to complete my workout for the day). As time passed I started to meet people and made some purchases at the front desk for energy drinks/ etc. One day I attended a class and after ran on the treadmill (as I had done a number of times in the past). Once I left I got a notification my card was charged for a full day pass at the gym. Not once did someone notify me this occurred nor did I authorize it. I contacted a manager at the facility I knew, and they stated they charged my card as I used gym equipment after the class. I told them I was unaware of this, as I and many other classpass users thought it was allowed. I feel violated in a way because I was charged without any warning and they did not refund the amount. If I had known they were going to do this I would've left and ran outside!

Pros- Lots of different workout equipment…read moreHuge gym Locker rooms are usually clean Variety of classes included in membership price Overall it's a good atmosphere and people are chill Seems accommodating for a variety of ability levels Cons- Parking is limited during peak hours Machine use is also limited during peak hours Pool schedule includes lifeguard breaks so if you happen to show up at 3:57 and the lifeguard breaks at 4 you can't start until 4:15/4:30 - hours don't really match what's advertised BUYER BEWARE PT 1/2 Trainers are really inconsistent - I paid for training here for 1.5 years & had 8+ different trainers, many of which were excellent (& some that had no idea what they were doing), but the turnover is ridiculous. You never the chance to build the consistent schedule they talk about in your initial meeting. You'll get better pricing almost anywhere else. If you sign up for training, you're locked in for a full year. Greg will convince you that you're out of shape even if you were top 10 in the last CrossFit games. Do the math first so you know what you're getting into. BUYER BEWARE PT 2/2 If start using a gym membership through your insurance company (LAF is in the BCBS Blue 365 network), LAF will do a complimentary freeze on your account & unlock it (start charging you again) after one year. CANCEL altogether so that doesn't happen. With all of that said it's a decent gym.

Cassandra was very helpful and I was planning to sign up, however, there was a gun magazine set out for visitors when I came in and sat at the visitor area. I might expect a magazine about health, wellness or something to do with bodybuilding or weightlifting or cardio, but not something that is politically charged at this time. It appears your LA fitness has a subscription to this gun sales organization because it was addressed to your LA fitness location. This is bizarre and made me uncomfortable and not the type of vibe I want to be around.
